Chapter 50 The enemy of my enemy is my friend
Yao'er is the youngest son of the second wife Zhang. He is quite loved by Old Madam Shen, and because of being spoiled, he has a somewhat naughty personality.
At this moment, Yao Ge'er was sitting next to Old Madam Shen's couch. Seeing this, he asked directly, "Second sister, what happened to your sleeve?"
Zhang looked up and said, "Hey, Sister Yi, why are your sleeves still patched? Could it be that the clothes your sister-in-law prepared for you are just for show?"
Qin Xuerong's face turned a little ugly, obviously she didn't expect this to happen.
"Ah, I hadn't noticed it before. Sister Yi's skirt looks a little short. Her shoes are pretty, but they don't fit her feet. How come Sister-in-law doesn't even know the size of Sister Yi's clothes?"
Qin's face darkened instantly, and she said quickly: "How could it be? I..."
Without waiting for Qin's explanation, Shen Shuyi said gently: "Second Aunt, you misunderstood. In fact, mother carefully prepared clothes and shoes for me, and I am very grateful."
Hearing this, Qin's expression looked a little better.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Shen Shuyi said: "It's just that mother and I haven't seen each other for five years, so it's inevitable that she doesn't know my body and size. I couldn't bear to disappoint mother's kindness, so I had to hastily alter the sleeves. As for the shoes..."
Shen Shuyi paused, then smiled and said, "Although it's a bit big, it will be suitable with an extra cushion."
Upon hearing this, Qin's expression, which had just relaxed, suddenly stiffened again.
Sure enough, the next moment, Zhang smiled and said, "Sister Yi, judging from what you said, could it be that your mother has never sent you clothes and shoes in the past five years? You were growing up, and she often sent people to make clothes for you. How could she not even know the size?"
Zhang was only halfway through her words, but anyone with a discerning eye could understand.
Unless Qin hadn't given Shen Shuyi anything in the past few years, how could it be so inappropriate?
Madam Shen's face immediately darkened.
"Xue Rong, do you have anything to say?"
Qin Xuerong said sadly: "Mother, I have sent people to deliver the expenses on time every year and every season, but I have never handled these things such as the size, so how could I know them so carefully!"
Zhang and Qin Xuerong had always been at odds. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law doesn't know. Doesn't the servant in charge of this matter know either? If she doesn't know, then how did you send the clothes and shoes to Sister Yi in the past few years?"
In one sentence, it hits the nail on the head. It must be said that Shen Shuyi only feels that Zhang is particularly likable at this time.
Besides, as the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Qin Xuerong's smile was a little forced: "If this is true, then the monks in the Buddhist temple or the servants in charge of this matter must have embezzled it."
After saying that, Qin Xuerong changed the subject and looked at Shen Shuyi with tears in her eyes and said, "Sister Yi, why didn't you tell me earlier that you have been wronged for so long?"
Shen Shuyi said considerately: "Mother, don't worry. The pure land of Buddhism is meant for pure cultivation. If you only have luxurious clothes and delicious food, then it will lose its original meaning."
Qin Xuerong's expression eased a little, and she felt that Shen Shuyi was quite sensible.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Shen Shuyi said, "It's just that mother, I don't mind a little hardship, but even if the monthly salary is not much, it is not a small amount accumulated over five years. If it is really embezzled by the servants in the mansion, it is a betrayal and a disrespect for mother!"
Upon hearing this, Hongying began to tremble, and Nanny Zhang's legs went weak and she knelt on the ground. After all, Nanny Zhang was the one who was in charge of the Buddhist temple's affairs.
Seeing that there was something interesting to watch, Zhang smiled and said, "Yes, sister-in-law, this kind of servant must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others! Otherwise, all the servants in this mansion will follow suit, stealing this today and taking that tomorrow. What will happen in the future?"
The two of them sang in unison, making Qin Xuerong's face distorted with anger.
I thought Shen Shu was interested, but this was putting an even bigger hat on my head!
His words implied that she was not good at housekeeping.
Qin Xuerong couldn't find any other reason at the moment, so she could only shout angrily: "Madam Zhang, what did you do?"
"Madam, please spare me! This old servant... this old servant has been delivering the allowance and expenses to the Second Young Lady on time all these years!"
Nanny Zhang knew that she had to stick to this matter, otherwise, if it was confirmed, she would be in big trouble!
Old Madam Shen frowned and looked at Shen Shuyi, and said softly: "Sister Yi, tell me, have you received your monthly allowance and monthly salary in these years?"
Shen Shuyi hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Buddhism is a place of quiet cultivation, and my granddaughter shouldn't say this, but as the saying goes, a thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole. This is related to the rules of the mansion and the dignity of the master family, so my granddaughter has to say it."
"My granddaughter has been staying at the Jade Buddha Temple for four years and two months. She has only received monthly payments eight times, and received clothing and jewelry from the palace six times. Each time, it was not in accordance with the palace's regulations."
'boom'!
Madam Shen slammed her palm on the table and said angrily, "How can this be possible!"
Aunt Zhang was so frightened that she almost confessed everything. Fortunately, she was an elderly woman who had seen many things, so she immediately said, "Madam, I am innocent!"
"I have been loyal to you for decades since I came to your house. How could I do such a thing to deceive my superiors and subordinates?"
Shen Jingchuan also frowned and said in a deep voice: "Sister Yi, do you have any evidence?"
Zhang Momo calculated that Shen Shuyi would not have any evidence in his hands, so he decided to deny it.
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "Dad, there is a monk named Zhiyuan in the Jade Buddha Temple. Not long ago, he was expelled from the temple by Master Huaihai for violating the rules and regulations."
"Before he left, he was found to have a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry. They were confiscated by the Buddhist temple and recorded in the accounts. If grandmother sent someone to check, she would definitely find that more than half of them were the share distributed by the palace to her granddaughter."
Shen Shuyi was neither humble nor arrogant, and his words were well-reasoned and well-founded.
That’s right, when Zhiyuan’s jewelry was stolen, no one came forward to report the incense money received by the Jade Buddha Temple, and there is no way to prove that these were Zhiyuan’s things, but the point is that Nanny Zhang didn’t know about this.
What Shen Shuyi wanted was for her to reveal her true colors and make her feel guilty.
After all, over the years, she and Hongying had indeed used a lot of things to reward and bribe Zhiyuan. If they used silver, neither Nanny Zhang nor Hongying would dare to keep the things in the allotment for themselves. It would be quite troublesome to exchange them every month. It would be better to use things directly to reward Zhiyuan.
Sure enough, what Shen Shu expected was correct. After hearing these words, Aunt Zhang started shaking like a sieve and her face turned pale.
However, this is not over yet.
Shen Shuyi continued, "My granddaughter happened to find out Zhiyuan's whereabouts a few days ago. If you have any doubts, you can send someone to call Zhiyuan and confront him face to face."
When these words were spoken, not only Aunt Zhang, but even Hongying's face turned pale and she almost knelt down.
Hongying looked at Nanny Zhang with fear and pleading eyes.
No... we can’t call Zhiyuan over for a confrontation!
If he came to the Shen residence, who knows what nonsense he would say. If he told her what happened between them that night, how would she still have the face to live in this world!
